I don't think it's quite equivalent to compare a US investor to a Chinese investor. The Chinese government has proven to be quite involved in the actions of its citizens and has been making moves to nationalize their tech sector (They also have a long history of nationalizing other sectors).
While the US has meddled from time to time in private business, the rights of citizens to avoid such action are pretty well laid out. Can you imagine a Chinese company taking their government to court to refuse revealing customer data to the government like apple and other us companies have?
So I think you can easily ignore the actions of the US government while taking investor money. But taking Chinese money is essentially like taking money directly from the Chinese government.
